Rainbow Dash first appeared in G3. She was included in the switch to G3.5, see G3.5 Rainbow Dash, and again in the big redesign of G4, see G4 Rainbow Dash.

Rainbow Dash is a member of the Core 7 Ponies.


This page organizes G3 Rainbow Dash toys by release year. Many of the releases recycle previous Rainbow Dashes, just with different accessories, etc. Rainbow Dash poses are numbered as they appeared chronologically by roman numeral.


Her head is strongly glued to the neck, and some releases have magnets in their front hooves. [1] [2] [3] [4]
